Takedown reaction
Can stuff the first shot. Chain wrestling and the second entry are the real test.
Punching agility
Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries.
Striking defense
Defensive liability. Opponents land at a clip that turns every exchange into a finish window.
Counter punching
Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax.
Ryan Spann “Superman” is a 34-year-old Orthodox heavyweight out of USA, camped at Fortis MMA. The tape read: submission hunter — porous pocket. Career mark 24-11-0 — 5 by KO/TKO, 14 by submission, 5 by decision. Fight IQ grades C (54).
What works. Takedown reaction is the standout at 74 (B). Can stuff the first shot. Chain wrestling and the second entry are the real test. Ground game C on 1.21 TD/15 and 1.66 sub attempts. Striking defense D at 41% / 6.60 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction B on 100% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 6 loaded UFC rows.
Where it breaks. Punching agility is the soft spot (27, D). Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries. Opponents who out-speed the first exchange and never stay on the centerline have historically been the ones who make this résumé leak. Losses lean decision more often than a highlight — the issue is usually control of minutes, not a glass jaw.
Recent tape (6 bouts): W 4711604 (KO/TKO R2) · W 4710386 (Submission R1) · L Acosta (KO/TKO R2) · W 2500735 (Submission R1) · L 5152109 (KO/TKO R2). Form index positive over the last 5. Most of the loaded finishes happen before the deep water.

Defensive liability. Opponents land at a clip that turns every exchange into a finish window.
Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax.
Late on the read. High absorb or a leaking TD defense suggests the first move often belongs to the opponent.
Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries.
Can stuff the first shot. Chain wrestling and the second entry are the real test.
Finishable. When this fighter loses, it is usually because something landed flush or the neck gave out.
